Welcome to the homepage of the VisitPA Mountain Bike Racing Team!
The VisitPA Mountain Bike Racing Team is made up of a mix of semi-professional mountain bike racers from around Pennsylvania. Team captains Mike Kuhn (Allentown) and Ray Adams (Harrisburg) lead a team that together have over 80 years of PA trail riding experience. All team members work full-time jobs and spend nearly every weekend from April through September racing around the state and region promoting Pennsylvania as a great place to ride. The team not only enjoys promoting PA riding, but is considered the top elite team in the region! If it's not Ray or Wes winning the elite men's field, Michelle and Nancy will be standing atop the women's podium; from Mike Kuhn's top finishes in 100 mile endurance races to Ryan's convincing victories in the short track races, the team members prove their mettle week after week!
The Team is proud to be sponsored by Pennsylvania-based Cannondale Bicycles
, who provide the team with their top-end frames, and SRAM, providing the components for team bikes. In turn, the Team gives a charitable contribution to the Blue Butterfly Fund, an organization that helps families whose children have cancer and organizations that assist these families. Every time VisitPa.com wins, so does the Blue Butterfly Fund!
Next time you're at a mountain bike event, stop at the VisitPa.com Team tent and say hi. Also, feel free to email the team members about riding in PA or upcoming races.
